Their passion and work are driven by their artist-activist evolution, and their in-it-to-win-it attitude when it comes to breathing life back into Black imagination, Black joy, and Black futures.
When they aren't performing, ArtsyQ is a community organizer, educator, and social activist for Black Trans and Blaqueer peoples. You can contact them through artsyq2@gmail.com, or on social media @ArtsyQ2 on all platforms.
